The specimen from Paramaribo is very similar to the type, the 

 pronotum has the lateral angles more divergent caudad, showing 

 that this character is variable in the present species. In this 

 respect the allotypic female is nearly intermediate between the 

 two specimens discussed above. 



In coloration the specimens before us are shining serpentine 

 green, probably faded from a much brighter shade, with the lat- 

 eral angles of the pronotum unmarked. 



Specimens Examined: 6; 4 males and 2 females.

Saussure and Pictet failed to associate the sexes of the present 

 species and figured the female as S. laticauda}'^ The present 

 species has been recorded from Miami, Florida by the authors 

 as S. curvicauda^^ and all of the material recorded by Bruner from 

 Kansas and Nebraska as S. curvicavda belongs to this insect.
